Hi Everyone,

The Circle, Arch, and Bow styles of dynamic text are now available in Photoshop beta!

Here’s how to use dynamic text circle, arch, and bow

Create a Point type or Paragraph type layer, and convert to dynamic circle, arch or bow using the dynamic text button menu found in the Options bar, Contextual Task Bar, or using the dynamic text section in the Properties panel.

**New dynamic text options**
For circle, arch, and bow, there are 4 options for Position (Above, Center, Below) or changing the direction of the text.

**Edit the start, middle, and end points**
Once a circle, arch, or bow layer has been created, you can adjust the start, middle, and end points with the Path Selection tool.

Customize your text to taste

With dynamic text circle, arch, and bow, most other text attributes are still editable aside from Font Size.

Protip

If you know how to edit the anchor points on a path, once a dynamic text layer has been made circle, arch, or bow, you can manipulate the path with the Direct Selection tool to whatever path shape you’d like and the text will stay dynamic (always fitting the text within the start and end points). If you get into any path-trouble, click any of the preset shapes again to go back to them.

Try the circle, arch, and bow dynamic text shapes & Share what you create!
